It’s bloat because those don’t need to be there.

It just seems strange for you to single out Motorola which is one of the companies with the least bloatware unstalled.
Those apps stay out of your way if you don't wanna use them and they barely use 0.1% of the internal storage.
I'd hardly call that bloat given the "Samsung Experience" I once had on one of those GalaxyNote 10.1 tablets. It was slow (basically everything in any app lagged), the OS was a non-upgradable Android 4.3 or 4.4 with heaps of Samsung BS constantly running and replacing standard apps (e.g. the browser). Also that tablet one day just would not charge anymore after ~1.5-2 years of fairly light use (reading, some video streaming, things like that).
